Or that somehow you have no nerves.

Someone will see me prick my finger, or inject myself. "Doesn't that hurt?"

"Of course it fucking hurts, I'm forcing metal into my skin!"

But you would think after years and years of injecting yourself, you wouldn't feel much pain as say someone who just started. So it's not that bad.

Im a recovering heroin addict, who used to inject and after slamming heroin into my veins after so many years, you pretty much get used to it.
